XPS 8950, front USB-C versus back USB-C?

Hi,

Can you tell me what exactly is the difference between front USB c port which is printed as USB ss10, vs back USB c port which is USB ss20. I see no difference in speed when I plug in nvme m.2 drive in enclosure? Is this misleading print or stamp, in Dell computers, how do I see practically the speed difference ?

Front port is USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with PowerShare

Connect devices such as external storage devices and printers.

Provides data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. Provides up to 15 W power output that enables faster charging.

Rear port is USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type C port

Connect devices such as external storage devices and printers. Provides data transfer rate of up to 20 Gbps.

If you use an NVMe enclosure for testing, it must be USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 compatible.
